This tune has been added to 10 tunebooks.
Also known as The Lame Foot.
Recordings of a tune by this name:
X: 1
T: Top Of The Hill, The
M: 6/8
L: 1/8
R: jig
K: Ador

Top of the hill
Again not quite straight out of O'neil's. I was surprised not to find this on-site and post as much to ferret out other takes on the tune as for any other reason. The double stop is meant to be alternate notes rather than a double stop. This is another way the B can go:
X: 1
T: Top of the Hill, The
M: 6/8
L: 1/8
R: jig
K: Em
|:ABc e2A|g2A e2A|ABc e2A|g2e dBG|
ABc eAA|gAA eAA|BGB gfe|dge dBG:|
gAg g2=f|ef^g a3|aAa g2e|dge dBG|
gAg g2=f|ef^g a3|aAa g2e|dge dBG:||
It's not really Em but the key signature is right and I'm not familiar enough with modes to name the right one. If you can help me out, I'll change it.

It seems to be in Ador, but I'm not very sure. There's an unusual tune of the same name on Hidden Fermanagh, but it's different from this jig.

i'm on the track of another jig by this name which might be that one. It was described as having the b part with extra bars. have you the abc for the one you mentioned?

The Lame Foot
I transcribed this tune to pipe notation several years ago and learned it as The Lame Foot. I *think* that it came from an old piping book I got from Scotcopy. Anyway, the B part here is MUCH more interesting.
Cheers!
